#OpRingRoad – Ofsted inspector Adam Higgins has pleaded guilty to child sex offences, two counts of possession of indecent images of children and one of enticing a boy under 15 to engage in sexual activity online

Inspector Adam Higgins pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of indecent images of children and one of enticing a boy under 15 to engage in sexual activity online.

The 48-year-old, of Saffron Walden, Essex, will be sentenced in July.

Chief Schools Inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw told the Mail on Sunday he was ‘deeply shocked’ and had a sense of ‘revulsion’ about Higgins being in schools.

He said: “While the police have confirmed there is no reason to believe any pupils at the schools he inspected were at risk during inspection visits, we have liaised closely with the schools and local authority areas in which Mr Higgins worked and will continue to do so over any concerns they may have.

“While this is a deeply shocking case and a matter of profound regret, we believe we did everything we could to check his background,

“It serves as a reminder of the need for continual vigilance when it comes to safeguarding children.”
